Inspiring Historians

This page honours the inspiring professors of history at UVic who have hooked generations of students into the pleasure and value of understanding the past.  This impressive group of retirees (also called professor emeritus) have left a legacy of students with a deep understanding of the relationship between past and present.  This legacy—those students—are now included in the highest levels of the government in Canada, and from coast to coast, in every walk of life, and in many cases are professors themselves inspiring a new generation. 

By date of their retirement, these are the Inspiring Historians whom this page honours.  Read more about them and the history of the UVic History Department in the “” by Dr. Patricia Roy and her “.” 

We have also honoured these historians by the creation of the Inspiring Historians Legacy Scholarship and raised over $50,000 for undergraduate student scholarships from grateful students, colleagues, friends and supporters.   If you would like to help us grow this tribute, you can add your contribution .
